About this Event
Step into San Francisco’s Italian soul!
Join our teacher Mattia for a lively walking tour of North Beach, where Italian and English stories bring the neighborhood to life. You’ll admire the grandeur of Saints Peter and Paul Church, the intimate beauty of the Porziuncola Nuova, the historic stage of Casa Fugazi, and the literary spirit of City Lights Bookstore—along with hidden courtyards and surprises most locals don’t even know.
The walk ends at the historic San Francisco Italian Athletic Club (SFIAC), where your ticket includes a complimentary drink at the bar—an authentic taste of Italianità. And on October 4th, stay in Washington Square for Light Up the Tricolore: a flag raising, live music, and the lighting of North Beach in green, white, and red to kick off Italian Heritage Month.
Ticket Price: $50 per person (includes a complimentary drink)
Language: English & Italian (no prior Italian knowledge required!)
Open to all: Whether you’re a student, a friend of IIS, or simply curious, you’re welcome to join!
